Nilol Tablet SR

Product introduction
Nilol Tablet SR is a prescription medicine used for managing high blood pressure (hypertension). It is a combination of two medicines that work together to control blood pressure when a single drug is not sufficient. By effectively lowering blood pressure, this medicine helps reduce the risk of serious health problems such as heart attack and stroke.

You can take Nilol Tablet SR at any time of the day, preferably on an empty stomach, but it’s best to take it at the same time daily to maintain consistent levels in the body. Continue taking the medicine exactly as your doctor has advised, even if you feel fine, because hypertension usually has no symptoms. Stopping the medication suddenly can make your condition worse. Along with medication, regular exercise, weight management, and a balanced diet are important for better control of blood pressure.

Some common side effects of this medicine may include tiredness, dizziness, headache, slow heart rate, ankle swelling, and nausea. It can sometimes make you feel lightheaded or sleepy, so avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. To manage ankle swelling, try keeping your legs elevated when sitting. Your doctor may also recommend regular monitoring of your blood pressure, kidney health, and electrolyte levels during treatment.

Before starting Nilol Tablet SR, inform your doctor if you have any history of liver or kidney disease. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine. Also, make sure to let your healthcare provider know about any other medicines you are taking, especially those for heart problems or high blood pressure.

Benefits of Nilol Tablet SR
Nilol Tablet SR contains two active ingredients, Nifedipine and Atenolol. These medicines work in different ways to lower blood pressure. Nifedipine relaxes blood vessels, while Atenolol reduces the heart rate, making it easier for the heart to pump blood efficiently. Together, they help to control blood pressure, which lowers the risk of complications like stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.

To get the best results, it is important to take this medicine regularly and follow healthy lifestyle habits such as eating a nutritious diet, staying active, and managing stress. Even if you don’t feel any immediate changes, the medicine works silently to protect your long-term health.
